West Virginia veterans kicked off their statewide tour Thursday at the West Virginia State Capitol. They say the Obama-Biden ticket is committed to improving benefits for veterans as well as updating the GI Bill.
They also want to see fewer homeless veterans on the street. They say McCain's voting record shows he's not willing to help veterans, and Obama is the clear choice.
The veterans will be rallying in Morgantown and Fairmont tomorrow.

Correction: WKRP in Cincinnati story December 01, 2008 3:25 PM In a Nov. 29 story about a television station promoting its new digital signal, The Associated Press erroneously reported that station WBQC changed its call letters to WKRP. The station refers to itself as WKRP, reminiscent of the 1970s hit television show "WKRP in Cincinnati," and changed its trademark to WKRP Cincinnati but did not change its call letters, said Elliott Block, general manager.
